Koutalianos

His efforts to liberate his 247 kilos by biting the special steel wire that was holding him by his leg, until the narcosis used for the placement of the radiocollar to start, was the reason for giving him the name Koutalianos. He is the largest of the 30 bears that were radiomarked in Greece since 1997. At his 17, he is now old (bears live up to 25) and his territory till the end of spring for mate search was 197 sq.Km.
